[QUOTE="chris229, post: 83858, member: 542614"] I really don't care for what some automotive person or book says --------- as the laws of physics are what defines electricity that mind you is exactly what a cap does----- charge to a voltage and hold. How can current flow from the alternator to the cap if the cap is at the same voltage??? correct because a batteries voltage sits at around 12.8V. Keep in mind that current always flows from the highest voltagejust because it doesn't produce a voltage on its own doesn't make it a load. A load MUST sit at a voltage below the current provider---alternator. the study of electricity is been going on for along time and caps are well understood the battery and alt DON'T work together----- the battery is a load and you were correct the first time when you said it------ unless your seeing the battery as a pimp and the alternator is a Whor*----then in that case they work together because the cap is charged to the voltage of the alternator ------- the effect can be seen as if it wasn't there at all --------- because as I said before no current can flow into it blah------- don't use autotech books ---correct here-----[B] i'm sorry guess I wasn't clear---- the load i'm refering to here is the amp drawing a steady current[/B][B] read above[/B][B] caps have been uderstood for along time now in electricity---- not something new.
